"Daphne In Arborem Transfformatur (daphne Fuyant Apollon)" is an exquisite engraving by the renowned Flemish artist and printmaker Hieronymus Cock, who was active during the 16th century. Cock, born in 1518 in Antwerp, was a pivotal figure in the Northern Renaissance, known for his detailed and dynamic engravings that often depicted mythological and biblical scenes. This particular work, created in the mid-16th century, illustrates the dramatic transformation of Daphne into a laurel tree as she flees from the god Apollo, a narrative derived from Ovid's "Metamorphoses."

The engraving captures the climactic moment of Daphne's metamorphosis with remarkable precision and emotional intensity. Apollo, depicted in vigorous pursuit, reaches out towards Daphne, whose form is already merging with the bark and branches of the laurel tree. Cock's mastery of line and texture is evident in the intricate detailing of both the human figures and the natural elements, creating a sense of movement and urgency that draws the viewer into the mythological drama.

Hieronymus Cock's work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its role in the dissemination of Renaissance art and ideas. As the founder of the publishing house Aux Quatre Vents (At the Sign of the Four Winds), Cock played a crucial role in the reproduction and distribution of prints, making art more accessible to a broader audience. His engravings, including "Daphne In Arborem Transfformatur," were instrumental in spreading the influence of Italian Renaissance art throughout Northern Europe.

This engraving is a testament to Cock's skill and his ability to convey complex narratives through the medium of print. It remains a valuable piece for both its artistic quality and its contribution to the cultural exchange between the Northern and Italian Renaissances.
